Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of interior decoration engineering technology, and in particular to a ceiling system. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing diversity of public building spaces, ceiling work is often carried out during renovations to enhance aesthetics, including the installation of decorative panels and the laying of lighting and ventilation ducts within the ceiling structure. As the number of devices within the ceiling increases, the span and height of ceiling projects are also expanding, leading to a rise in large-scale interior ceiling projects. However, existing ceiling structures often feature decorative panels fixed to supporting components, limiting their placement and flexibility in adjusting for varying ventilation areas. This makes it difficult to balance aesthetics with functionality and practicality. Furthermore, this structure suffers from complex installation processes, inconvenient wiring and ductwork maintenance, and time-consuming and labor-intensive upkeep and repair work. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a ceiling system that can flexibly adjust the rotation angle of the decorative panel by adopting a rotation method that combines a servo motor and gear transmission, and can simplify installation and maintenance costs through modular design.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, one embodiment of this utility model provides a ceiling system, including multiple modular shapes connected to a ceiling support structure. Each modular shape includes: a connector, the first end of which is fixedly connected to the ceiling support structure, and the second end of which has a gear; a support fixing member, which meshes with the gear of the connector and supports and fixes the shape panel; and a servo motor, which can controllably drive the gear of the connector to rotate, thereby driving the support fixing member to rotate to open or close the shape panel.

[0005] In some embodiments, the ceiling support structure includes a support steel pipe with a threaded rod fixed thereon, and the first end of the connector is a hollow steel pipe with a thread on the inner side that is adapted to the threaded rod. The modular shape structure is fixedly connected to the ceiling support structure by screwing the first end of the connector to the threaded rod.

[0006] In some embodiments, the material of the molding panel is aluminum.

[0007] In some embodiments, multiple modular structural elements are arranged in an array on the ceiling support structure.

[0008] In some embodiments, the shaping plate is a circular plate with a concave structure, and / or the shaping plate is a circular plate with a convex structure.

[0009] In some embodiments, the support and fixing member includes: a support rod, one end of which meshes with a gear of the connector, and the other end which is supported and fixed at the center position of the inner surface of the styling plate; and a support plate, which is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the styling plate through a fixing module.

[0010] In some embodiments, when the shaping panel is in a closed state, the first included angle between the axis of the support rod and the axis of the connector is within a first angle range; when the shaping panel is in an open state, the second included angle between the axis of the support rod and the axis of the connector is within a second angle range; wherein, the second angle range is greater than the first angle range.

[0011] In some embodiments, the second angle range is [-45 degrees to +45 degrees].

[0012] In some embodiments, the servo motor can controllably drive the gears of the connector to rotate, thereby causing the support fixing member to rotate to change the angle of the second included angle.

[0013] The above technical solution, employing a rotation method combining servo motors and gear transmission, allows for flexible adjustment of the rotation angle of the decorative panels, providing significant operational convenience and adaptability. High-precision control of the panel rotation angle not only ensures the accuracy and reliability of the ceiling system during operation but also enables perfect integration with the fresh air intake system in the perforated panel section of the building ceiling. The panel rotation angle can also be flexibly adjusted according to the specific value of the fresh air area. Furthermore, the servo motors throughout the system can synchronously drive the gears of the corresponding connectors, rotating the corresponding decorative panels to achieve a coordinated effect; each servo motor can also asynchronously drive the gears of its corresponding connector, rotating the corresponding decorative panels to achieve individual control. The ceiling system provided in this embodiment simplifies installation and maintenance costs through modular design. Attached Figure Description

[0026] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the ceiling system described in this embodiment includes multiple modular structural structures 12 connected to the ceiling support structure 11. Each modular structural structure 12 includes: a connector 121, a support and fixing member 122, a servo motor 123, and a structural plate 124.

[0027] Specifically, the first end of the connector 121 is fixedly connected to the ceiling support structure 11, and its second end has a gear 129. The support fixing member 122 meshes with the gear 129 of the connector 121 and supports and fixes the decorative panel 124. The servo motor 123 can controllably drive the gear 129 of the connector 121 to rotate, thereby causing the support fixing member 122 to rotate to open or close the decorative panel 124. The servo motor 123 can control the rotation of the gear 129 using known driving methods such as shaft drive or gear drive. The servo motor 123 can precisely control the angle.

[0028] In this embodiment, the ceiling support structure 11 includes a support steel pipe 111 to which a threaded rod 112 is fixed. Specifically, the threaded rod 112 is fixed to the support steel pipe 111 by a bolt group 113. The first end of the connector 121 is a hollow steel pipe with threads on its inner side that are adapted to the threaded rod 112. By screwing the first end of the connector 121 to the threaded rod 112, the modular structure 12 is fixedly connected to the ceiling support structure 11.

[0029] In this embodiment, the support fixing member 122 includes: a support rod 1221, a support plate 1222, and a fixing module 1223. One end of the support rod 1221 meshes with the gear of the connecting member 121, and the other end is fixedly supported at the center position of the inner surface of the shaping plate 124; that is, the support rod 1221 can serve as the axis of symmetry of the shaping plate 124, so that the servo motor 123 controls the rotation angle of the shaping plate 124 in a central axis symmetrical drive mode. This design can significantly reduce the required driving torque, thereby improving the overall operating efficiency and stability. The support plate 1222 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the shaping plate 124 through the fixing module 1223. The fixing of the support rod 1221 and the support plate 1222 to the shaping plate 124 can be achieved by known fixing methods such as screw fixing or snap fixing. Specifically, the support rod 1221 and the support plate 1222 can form an umbrella frame. The outer contour of the umbrella frame is adapted to the inner contour of the shaping plate 124, thereby fitting the inner surface of the shaping plate 124 and supporting and fixing the shaping plate 124. Specifically, the material of the support fixing member 122 can be stainless steel.

[0030] In this embodiment, the material of the molding plate 124 is aluminum. That is, the molding plate 124 is a thin aluminum plate fixed to the outer contour of the support fastener 122.

[0031] like Figures 3-8 As shown, in this embodiment, multiple modular structural elements 12 are arranged in an array on the ceiling support structure 11.

[0032] like Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, the shaping plate 124 includes a circular plate with a concave structure and a circular plate with a convex structure; the circular plates with concave structures and the circular plates with convex structures are arranged alternately. In other embodiments, the shaping plate 124 may all be circular plates with concave structures, or all be circular plates with convex structures, or all be planar circular plates.

[0033] The principal plane of the decorative panel 124 is defined as a plane perpendicular to the axis Z2 of the supporting rod 1221, and the principal plane of the ceiling load-bearing structure 11 is defined as a plane perpendicular to the axis Z1 of the connector 121, as follows. Figures 1-2 As shown.

[0034] like Figure 2 and Figures 3-5 As shown, in this embodiment, when the decorative panel 124 is in the closed state, the first included angle between the axis Z2 of the support rod 1221 and the axis Z1 of the connector 121 is within a first angle range (e.g., [-1 degree to +1 degree]). Specifically, it can be 0 degrees, that is, the main plane of the decorative panel 124 is parallel to the main plane of the ceiling support structure 11.

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figures 6-8 As shown, in this embodiment, when the decorative panel 124 is in the open state, the second included angle θ2 between the axis Z2 of the support rod 1221 and the axis Z1 of the connector 121 is within a second angle range. That is, there is an included angle between the main plane of the decorative panel 124 and the main plane of the ceiling support structure 11. The second angle range is greater than the first angle range. For example, the second angle range can be [-45 degrees to +45 degrees], and the first angle range can be [-1 degree to +1 degree].

[0036] Preferably, the servo motor 123 can controllably drive the gear 129 of the connector 121 to rotate, thereby causing the support fixing member 122 to rotate to change the angle of the second included angle θ2. That is, this embodiment can control the rotation angle of the shaped plate 124 relative to the ceiling support structure 11. Specifically, the servo motor 123 can control the rotation angle of the shaped plate 124 relative to the ceiling support structure 11 to stop arbitrarily within a range of ±45 degrees as needed, so as to achieve high-precision control. By controlling the rotation angle of the shaped plate 124 relative to the ceiling support structure 11 as needed by the servo motor 123, it is also possible to achieve the same rotation angle as the perforated plate 30 at the bottom of the building ceiling (shown in the figure). Figure 3 and Figure 6 In this system, a fresh air intake system is perfectly integrated into the perforated plate 30 at the bottom of the ceiling (with perforations 301). The servo motors 123 of the entire ceiling system can be controlled synchronously to drive the gears 129 of the corresponding connectors 121 to rotate, thereby rotating the corresponding decorative panels 124 and achieving a coordinated effect. Each servo motor 123 of the ceiling system can also be controlled asynchronously to drive the gears 129 of the corresponding connectors 121 to rotate, thereby rotating the corresponding decorative panels 124 and achieving individual control. By setting light sources at the positions corresponding to the decorative panels 124 on the ceiling support structure 11, the opening or closing of the decorative panels 124 can achieve multi-light switch control of the ceiling, further realizing a multi-light curtain wall effect.

[0037] Specifically, the opening angle of the decorative panel 124 can be varied; different decorative panels 124 can also be combined in various ways to form different patterns. By adding a visual sensor, human-computer interaction can also be achieved; for example, if the visual sensor detects that there are many people in the area corresponding to the ceiling system, more decorative panels 124 can be opened, and / or the opening angle of the decorative panels 124 can be larger; if the visual sensor detects that there are few people in the area corresponding to the ceiling system, fewer decorative panels 124 can be opened, and / or the opening angle of the decorative panels 124 can be smaller.

[0038] As can be seen from the above, the ceiling system provided in this embodiment, by employing a rotation method combining servo motors and gear transmission, can flexibly adjust the rotation angle of the decorative panels, providing great operational convenience and adaptability. High-precision control of the rotation angle of the decorative panels not only ensures the accuracy and reliability of the ceiling system during operation but also achieves perfect integration with the fresh air intake system in the perforated panel section of the building ceiling. The rotation angle of the decorative panels can also be flexibly adjusted according to the specific value of the fresh air area. Furthermore, the servo motors of the entire system can be controlled synchronously to drive the gears of the corresponding connecting parts to rotate, thereby rotating the corresponding decorative panels to achieve a coordinated effect; each servo motor can also be controlled asynchronously to drive the gears of the corresponding connecting parts to rotate, thereby rotating the corresponding decorative panels to achieve individual control. The ceiling system provided in this embodiment simplifies installation and maintenance costs through modular design.

[0039] In practical applications, this solution offers flexible control, allowing for arbitrary stopping of the rotation angle within a ±45-degree range, providing significant operational convenience and adaptability. From an aesthetic standpoint, the structural design is simple and clear, maintaining the building's beauty and neatness whether the decorative panels are opened or closed. Furthermore, the design boasts strong flexibility in layout, allowing for adjustments based on the specific fresh air area, ensuring no negative impact on the building's overall appearance or the effectiveness of fresh air intake. This balances aesthetics with functionality and practicality. Moreover, this solution excels in installation and maintenance. Its structural simplicity simplifies and speeds up installation, significantly shortening the construction cycle and reducing costs. The modular design also simplifies future maintenance and repairs, further enhancing the solution's practicality and economy. The compact and easily disassembled connections between components allow maintenance personnel to quickly locate problems and perform targeted repairs, greatly improving system reliability and lifespan. In terms of energy conservation and environmental protection, this solution effectively controls system energy consumption and reduces unnecessary energy waste by employing high-efficiency servo (stepper) motors and precise control technology. Simultaneously, its precise rotation control and synchronization performance ensure the efficient operation of the fresh air system, resulting in continuous improvement in indoor air quality and providing users with a healthier and more comfortable living and working environment. This solution demonstrates significant advantages in multiple aspects, including technology, functionality, aesthetics, and environmental friendliness.
